The Elysée (Fitzrovia)

• Smashing plates is great fun and that is definately the main attraction of the place
• When I went we were in a big group and ordered wrong (the set menu was terrible and overpriced)
• In the Evening if you are looking for some Greek music you can join the band for traditional Greek dancing
• Usually the place is overcrowded and the music is definitely too loud for a restaurant
• Everything that was served up was delicious and the food just seemed to keep coming
• Lots of different flavours were served up in each course and it was all wonderful
• The main course there was a nice mix of different meats but the lamb in particular was very nice
• We went in on a Saturday night and it was very busy but the service was always friendly and very quick
• I recently took a husband here to eat who is very fussy and hard to please
• The staff members were welcoming and smiling
• We opted for the deep fried liver to start and he had Lamb cutlets which she said were the best she'd ever had
• We loved the food which was very well decorated and the ambiance
• The staff members made our evening great with the smiling serving
• There was live music entertainment downstairs with a live band
• We dined upstairs on the roof terrace which was full of life
• E) being a Mediterranean cuisine is comparable to the tastes of Turkish and Lebanese food
• I ordered the 'Lamb Souvla' which was delicious and very succulent pieces of "
• Lamb that had been slow cooked served with aromatic rice and salad
• The flavour of the lamb was perfect with a bit of mint/herb puré
• E drizzled over the pieces of tender slow cooked meat which I had with the rice and salad as well as the warm pitta bread for the table
• This makes a nice place for a romantic or birthday/group meal as there is great food with live entertainment and ambience in a good location
• So came here the other night to sample the live entertainment and the Greek Cypriot food which I was excited to try Loving Cypriots food immensely
• 350 but we left very very full with a lot of meat in our bellies and a couple of bottles of good wine
• Around ten they start to put some live Greek music with dancers ecc
• The best part though is when everyone stand up from his table
• Upstairs they also have a club with Greek music and a nice shisha bar
• The ambience of the venue was great &ndash
• The inside bar area was initially quiet
• Picked up fairly quickly after midnight with a range of fun
• The shisha was average &ndash
• Pretty pricy and not as long lasting as we were expecting it to be
• As a lot of the waiters/waitresses were either chatting amongst themselves or in their own world
• The cocktails were pretty good &ndash
